Chapter 1021: Chapter 394: Qin Muge There was no chessboard in the center, only a massive stone platform about nine zhang high. This stone platform was somewhat pyramid-like in shape, having ninety-nine levels, divided into four layers. The first three layers had twenty-five levels, and the last one had twenty-four levels. At the very top was a green stone chair over eighty zhang tall. This chair looked like furniture made by primitive people, with its original and rustic design, seeming crude and simple, it should have clashed with the ornately decorated and resplendent interior of the floors. However, Chu Xisheng did not feel any abruptness. The chair stood there, giving Chu Xisheng an overwhelming sense of oppression. It seemed as if it was naturally able to suppress all under heaven and earth. And it could subdue everything within this floor. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⸺fire.net In front of the green stone chair, there was also a massive stone table. Chu Xisheng used the ‘Peeping Heaven’ ability to observe from afar, and found two items on the stone table, a piece of green stone, and a small token. Both items were only as big as a human fist, making them appear particularly exquisite on the stone platform, which spanned tens of zhang in width. Lu Luanyi likewise concentrated on observing: “Could that stone be the fragment of the Divine Contract Sky Tablet, as the Canghai Stone mentioned? And this chair and writing desk, are they also Magic Artifacts?” Jian Cangfeng shook his head: “Those should be the chair and writing desk of some ancient Heavenly Emperor. But their materials are extraordinary, and they are stained with the Divine Power aura of that Heavenly Emperor.” He then shifted his gaze to the steps and the ground in front of the stone platform. There were many scorch marks and pits, as well as deeply ingrained sword marks. “I am more curious. It seems like someone battled here. Not long ago, someone must have had a great battle here—” Before Jian Cangfeng’s words were finished, the figure of the Divine Turtle Wanderer manifested on the platform. He looked down at everyone from above: “You seven along with the three from the Beast Clan, those under the age of eighteen, please step up to the next level. I, Liang Chen, solemnly warn beforehand, there are regulations set by the Two Books of Precepts here. If you dare to violate, you will surely die under Ten Thousand Thunders!” Chu Xisheng hesitated for a moment, then decisively flew up into the air. The Divine Turtle Wanderer mentioned levels, not steps. Therefore, he directly skipped twenty-five steps and landed on the first level of the stone platform. Zhoou Liangchen, Lu Luanyi, Little Xuanwu, Suan Ni, and Little Flat Head followed closely behind. This stone level was quite spacious, accommodating even the large body of Little Xuanwu. Below, Jian Cangfeng and Ween Zhiyi both looked at Chu Yunyun with peculiar expressions. The girl, who hadn’t yet turned sixteen, actually stood motionless. The Divine Turtle Wanderer continued: “Those who practice Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, continue to the next level!” Both Lu Luanyi and Chu Yunyun immediately ascended another level each. Originally, Chu Xisheng thought that Ween Zhiyi couldn’t ascend, but he soon discovered that Ween Zhiyi, with a wave of her hand, created several Magic True Talismans before her, eventually condensing them into a Spirit Seed and storing it in her brow. Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but grin, shocked that she achieved the condition of nurturing a Ninth Grade sorcerer’s Spirit Seed in no time. At this moment, his expression changed slightly as he looked at the Outer Method Divine Pupil on his shoulder. Chu Xisheng tentatively stepped forward and found that no Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder formed around him. Even as he advanced to the second level, no Thunder Power generated nearby. The Divine Turtle Wanderer spoke for the third time: “Those who have mastered ‘One Word Becomes a Proverb’ and ‘Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder’ can ascend to the next level.” Chu Xisheng smiled wryly and remained where he was. Lu Luanyi, however, flew up and reached the third level. Chu Yunyun then arrived on the second level and stood beside him. To Chu Xisheng’s astonishment, Ween Zhiyi waved her hand, condensing another two Magic True Talismans, merging them into her brow, then moved to his right side. The Divine Turtle Wanderer’s Divine Splitting smiled a little: “Those willing to switch practice to my cultivation technique can ascend another level. Those who cultivate Formless Skill are exempt.” Lu Luanyi’s expression brightened, and she immediately flew upwards, preparing to reach the top of the stone platform. However, just as her delicate frame was about to leave the ground, a silver-white light forcefully penetrated through the layers of Forbidden Technique, traversing towards the stone table. Lu Luanyi’s pupils constricted. She knew this light had to be One Sword Overturning City Ween Zhiyi! Everything froze and solidified along its path, including all the rules and all the Magic Prohibitions here! However, just as Ween Zhiyi’s hand was about to touch the green stone on the stone table, a black spear darted from behind Lu Luanyi, stabbing at Ween Zhiyi’s back. When Ween Zhiyi was forced to use Tai Chu Ice Reincarnation Slash to counter the black spear, Lu Luanyi, sandwiched between the two, had her eardrums ruptured and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. She forcefully broke apart the powerful Vigorous Force sweeping towards her with the Great Ming King Wheel, standing firm. At this moment, the entire floor was split into two, one half turning into an ice abyss that extinguished everything, the other half becoming a sea of fire engulfing all. Ween Zhiyi’s figure suspended in mid-air, coldly staring at Chu Yunyun: “Absolute Heaven Technique, Martial Arts Near-God, who are you?” This woman couldn’t possibly be Chu Xisheng’s sister. At this moment, infinite Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder was forming above the heads of the two women. More than 24 Cloud Sea Immortal Puppets appeared on the four sides of the floor, using the ‘Sealing’ and ‘Breaking’ swords to lock the two from afar. Chu Yunyun seemed indifferent, waving her spear to dissolve the Infinite Divine Slash used on herself: “I am Qin Muge!” In that instant, several individuals, including Jian Cangfeng, stiffened visibly.
